Title: What Extension Plug will I need? Post by: ishansardar on January 31, 2021, 01:34:30 PM I plan to build a 5 gpu mining rig consisting x4 3060 1x 1080ti (first ever mining build) also my gaming rig will have a 3090, I need a extension plug for these. What would be the best solution? thank you.

If main power either buy a longer cord or buy an extension cord thst can handle the power draw. In this case at least 750w but i would go higher. If 110v power then a 15amp cord. If 208-240v then a 7.5-10amp cord. If you mean for psu to gpu then you can get extensions but for 4 gpus should be needed. i run 6x13 gpus off the psu depending on size. Just be sure to get good quality wire and made ones. Risers come with 2-3 ft usb cable so shouldnt need extension there. Title: Re: What Extension Plug will I need?

Can't find anything that plugs directly to the wall (UK) without an adapter. I'll be powering two 700watt psu (assuming thats what I need to power those 5 gpu system) PS: sorry if all of these is a little bit confusing as I'm very new to mining and learning bit by bit everyday.
